Refugees sheltered in Armenia today held a protest action in front of the UN Office in Armenia. They sheltered themselves in a hostel in the Nor Nork district, and the daily living conditions, according to them, are extremely worse. Refugees are mainly from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iran. Seed Kholla Ali Zadeh, from Afghanistan, says he has lost his family there and wants to go to Turkey, but appeared in Armenia by mistake. "Living here is very difficult, there are no elementary conditions in the shelter, there is no work," he says. Protesting refugees say they are not going to stop the protest action and will stay in front of the UN Office unless their problems are resolved. They want to go to another country and they cannot return to their homeland.
